Safety instructions

Information that is relevant for safety is indicated in
the instructions as follows:

DANGER

Indicates potentially fatal situations.

WARNING

Indicates possible danger to life and limb.

CAUTION

Indicates possible material damage.

All interventions may only be carried out by qualified
gas technicians. Electrical interventions may only be
carried out by qualified electricians.

Conversion, spare parts

All technical changes are prohibited. Only use OEM
spare parts.

Checking the usage

Gas pressure switches DG..T for monitoring increas­ing and decreasing gas or air pressure.

DG..T,
DG..FT

DG..ST NH

DG..NT and DG..HT lock off after switching. They
can be unlocked using the manual reset.

This function is only guaranteed when used within the

specified limits– see page5 (Technical data). Any
other use is considered as non-compliant.

Installation

CAUTION

Please observe the following to ensure that the
DG..T is not damaged during installation and op
eration:

– Continuous operation with gases containing

more than 0.1%-by-vol. H2S or ozone con­centrations exceeding 200µg/m3 accelerate
the ageing of elastomer materials and reduce

the service life.
– Use approved sealing material only.
– Dropping the device can cause permanent dam-

age. In this event, replace the entire device and

associated modules before use.
– Check max. ambient temperature – see

page5 (Technical data).
– When using silicone tubes, only use silicone

tubes which have been sufficiently cured.
– Vapours containing silicone can adversely affect

the functioning of electrical contacts.
– Condensation or vapours containing silicone

must not be allowed to get into the housing.

At subzero temperatures, malfunctions/failures
due to icing can occur.

– When installing outdoors, place the DG..T in

a roofed area and protect from direct sunlight
(even IP65 version).

– Avoid strong impact on the unit.

▷ Installation position as required, preferably with

vertical diaphragm. Then the switching point p
corresponds to the scale value SK set on the
hand wheel. In other installation positions, the
switching pointpS will change and no longer
correspond to the scale valueSK set on the
hand wheel. Check the switching point.

▷ The DG..T must not be in contact with masonry.

Minimum clearance 1" (25 mm).

▷ Ensure that there is sufficient installation space.
▷ Ensure unobstructed view of the hand wheel.

1 Disconnect the system from the electrical power

supply.

2 Shut off the gas supply.
3 Ensure that the pipeline is clean.

CAUTION

Port 4 connects the upper diaphragm chamber

with the micro switch. Do not connect port4 to

pipes carrying gas.

▷ The pressure switches are supplied with an inte-

grated vent limiter. In the event of a diaphragm
tear, the vent limiter limits the escape of gas
to less than 1.0 CFH of natural gas at 2.8psi

S

(DG..6T) or 7 psi (DG..10T – DG..500T). If neces­sary, port4 (1/8" NPT) can be used to connect
the venting line.

▷ A filter pad at port4 protects the electrical contacts

in the DG..T from dirt particles in the surrounding
air or in the medium.

▷ Filter pad for port4, see PartDetective.
